I've been searching for a dining room table and chairs for a while now, as our dining room is terribly empty. What's worse, is you have to walk through the dining room to get to the kitchen and garage, so it's not like one of those rooms that you can close the doors and ignore the fact that it's bare. Realizing that we can't afford the nice new sets that we've been looking at, I decided to start looking at craigslist. A lot of the pieces of furniture listed in our area are either really old and outdated, or too expensive. The good but cheap pieces go so quickly.
Today I was searching again, trying to get caught up from being away for a week. This morning I found a nice cherry wood table and 6 chairs, and luckily it hadn't been sold by the time Joe got home from work. We went over to check it out, and it's definitely a good set! We managed to buy it for $200 - not too shabby! The picture of it is from the craigslist post - I'll be sure to take pictures once we get it all moved in and set up. The cushions will need to be recovered as the family we bought it from had a couple of small kids, which didn't mesh well with the white fabric. But for now, I'm so excited that we have a dining room set!
